NOTE

Evaluating Venture vs. Alternative Funding Models

When considering funding for businesses, it's essential to evaluate whether pursuing a venture path is appropriate or if alternative funding mechanisms should be explored. Not all businesses are suited for raising venture capital, and it's crucial to determine the right approach early on. The essence of NDVC thinking lies in not being exclusively tied to the venture path for all stages of growth. Instead, businesses may benefit from a mix of venture capital and other forms of funding, based on their actual needs and growth trajectory. This flexible approach allows for considering debt or self-sustainability after an initial venture capital injection, rather than consistently relying on venture capitalists for funding rounds.
